PTI December Blog Hop

Once again, I'm playing along with Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop. This month's challenge was White & White.

I was a little intimidated by the challenge, because I love colour. But I thought, it's suppose to be challenging, right? So, I actually ended up creating two cards for the hop.

I was inspired by Iwona Palamountain's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #86 to create my first card, using my favourite PTI white cardstock (rustic white), PTI stamps (lovely layers, movers & shakers sentiments) and dies (lovely layers, half & half, heart border).

Since I couldn't add colour, I decided to add a lot of texture, with layers, stitching and my PTI linen & canvas impression plate.

For my second card, I decided to break out my new PTI shape-up sweater die and coordinating stamp sets.

I used PTI rustic white cardstock & stamps (purls of wisdom, knit bits, fillable frames #9). Again, I wanted to add texture, so I stitched on my card and heat embossed the knit pattern with white embossing powder. I layered the front diecut over a piece of Offray ribbon, stitched the ribbon in place and then stitched four buttons over top.

Thanks for looking!
